The three LHC-experiments (ALICE, ATLAS and CMS), which study lead-collisions have presented their latest results at the international Quark Matter 2011 conference, held in Annecy in France with over 750 participants...

New X-ray method for understanding brain disorders better

12 May 2011

Researchers from NBI have developed a new method for making detailed X-ray images of brain cells. The method can map the myelin sheaths of nerve cells, which are important for conditions such as multiple sclerosis...
